Deadline: 16-Jun-25

Alpine Shire Council’s Community Grants Program and Event Funding Program are now open for applications.

Council supports the management and delivery of the events sector through the annual Events Funding Program as well as services provided for event approvals.
The objectives of event funding are to:
- Assist with the establishment, development, and delivery of new events with the aim that events transition to being fully self-funded and not reliant on recurrent funding from Council;
- Strengthen and develop the community;
- Provide support for community events;
- Encourage community participation;
- Increase regional, national, and international visitation;
- Promote Shire townships as destinations to visit, stay, explore and invest;
- Stimulate the economy; and
- Provide an equitable system for determining Council contribution towards events.

To provide maximum access to funding, the assessment panel endeavours to divide available funds across a broad range of groups meaning that grants for as little as $100 are considered.
